A premier Nose, a French perfumery titan, and a handsome bachelor in his forty years, Mantel Lamarck is dreadfully afraid of women, fortune-hunters. He's smart, successful, and inevitably does not need business shares or compromises. Able to identify 800 different perfumes from a single squirt, Mantel does not smell fragrances with his nose: he does it with his brain. After serving in the perfumery industry for twenty years and having saved millions to spare, Mantel Lamarck finally acquires a meaning in his life and tranquility following his biggest compromise -- a merger of the traditional art of modeling fragrances with the quartz-resonator sensor array (QRSA) of an 'artificial nose.' In order to know who is the person behind the merger, and who is that gave a meaning to Mantel's vigilant life, take a tour of this suspense novel. By depicting the French and Italian wildflowers and fragrances and by touching the opulent lifestyle of the riches, this novel, with its epic and ambitious plot, offers an elating read.
